Life and Abundance (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets
A person to take refuge in,
a purpose to be driven by,
that’s all you need
to lead a good life.
A roof to take shelter under,
couple meals to feed our hunger,
that’s all you need
to lead a good life.
Brain at the base of the mind,
Heart at the base of existence,
Character at the base of the shoulder,
that’s all you need to lead a good life.
Materialism normalized as abundance
chains freedom, and renders life a cripple.
True abundance instills content not clutter,
Actual needs of life are rather little.
